When you took your test, did they allow books to have been tabbed, highlighted with notes in the pages?
Also, if you had to choose only one book, which is better to study and to bring to the test? The NEC 2011 book or the 2011 NEC handbook?
From what I could tell, the handbook is not permitted...When you took your test, did they allow books to have been tabbed, highlighted with notes in the pages?

It says on there that "In addition, to the NEC, you may use any of the following references." And one of those listed is the National Electrical Code Handbook
I am assuming that when it says "NEC," it is referring to the NEC 2011 book.
The only place I looked was in the table. But you are correct. It does list the handbook.It says on there that "In addition, to the NEC, you may use any of the following references." And one of those listed is the National Electrical Code Handbook

I agree 100%, there is not time to read the opinions and examples in the NECH. It doesn't matter in NC though, like Dennis said, they provide the code book, pencils, and scratch paper.(which is left after the exam). I can't remember if I was allowed to use my own calculator or not.Personally,I'ld rather just bring the NEC, The handbook has too much information that would distract me during a timed exam.
Can anyone recommend a brand, type, allowable in test facilty calculator to use for the ICC residential electrical inspectors test here in Florida.
